First off I barely remember when Roy Leonard would host some holiday special on WGN for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I didn't notice when he retired back in 1998. But at 75 he's back but this time on WGN radio. I never knew that for 31 he was also at WGN radio.
Well he's coming back to bring back his feature "Turkeys of the Year"...
Roy Leonard, who served up Chicago's "Turkeys of the Year" every Thanksgiving Day for decades on WGN-AM (720), is bringing them back with relish. The legendary broadcast personality, who retired from the Tribune Co.-owned news/talk station in 1998, has agreed to return with a new crop of gobblers, bestowing his honors on the overhyped show-biz bombs and pop-culture flameouts of the past year.Well Mancow has been around since his show is no longer aired in Chicago. Over the summer Q101 decided to take him off the air and work on a new morning program for their station, while Mancow continues to be heard nationwide. Not that this has slowed him down. He's still busy. Check out his latest project...
He'll turn up from 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday with host Nick Digilio as part of "The WGN Thanksgiving Buffet," an array of special programming (and highlights from the station's archives), airing from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
As hinted here, William Shatner will turn up on "Planet Mancow," the one-hour special on Fox News Channel hosted by Chicago-based radio personality Mancow Muller. It will air at 8 and 11 p.m. Saturday.A 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Hmm that sounds like Mancow to me.
In addition to Shatner, who'll talk about the legacy of "Star Trek," Muller's guests will include a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and a New York firefighter who was at Ground Zero.
